On November 2, at Monastier (Treviso), within Cyclorama, an informative event about the Interreg IV Italy-Austria 2007-2013, the SRSnet project (Smart Resource-aware multi-Sensor NETworks) has been included among the best practices of the international cooperation program.

The SRSnet project, made ​​possible thanks to the collaboration between Italian and Austrian companies, experienced in the field of technological innovation, involves the building a smart network of audio and video sensors that can automatically localize and detect different types of events in a specific environment. The sensor network is currently tested at the National Park Hohe Tauern, Carinthia, and it allows the park staff to monitor several factors, such as the flow of visitors who every day comes to the park and various activities in the main points of interest.

The system is able to identify events, providing detailed information about the subjects and actions that are taking place, pulling out statistics showing frequency and occurrence of several cases identified by the system.

The project is not yet completed and the partner companies, both Italian (Eye-tech, Infofactory) and Austrian (Lakeside-Lab, the Pervasive Computing Group and the Transportation Informatics Group of the Alpe-Adria University of Klagenfurt), are working to optimize the system considering also its future application in safety and accident prevention, due to its ability to promptly identify different categories of events.
